Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups soy milk (divided; sub for almond or oat milk, but the consistency may be thinner)
• 3 tbsp cornstarch (sub for arrowroot or potato starch can work)
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)
• ⅛ tsp salt
• ¼ cup dairy-free semisweet chocolate chips (I use the brand Enjoy Life)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

 

1. In a small bowl, stir together ½ cup soy milk with the cornstarch until completely dissolved.
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the remaining soy milk, sugar, sifted cocoa powder, salt, and the cornstarch mixture over low-medium heat until it simmers gently.
3. Stir in the chocolate chips and whisk constantly until the chocolate melts and the pudding thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Pour into a glass bowl or individual containers. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin. Refrigerate for 3 hours.
6. Serve chilled and enjoy this rich, dairy-free treat!

Notes

– Use high-quality dairy-free chocolate chips for the best flavor.
– Ensure your cocoa powder is sifted to prevent lumps.
– Pressing the plastic wrap directly onto the pudding surface is key to a smooth, skin-free top.
– For an extra rich flavor, use a dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage.
